To the best of my knowledge, I am the only immediate family member who is LGB and especially T.

To the best of my knowledge, I'm the only one... and that's probably enough for my whole family 

It would be interesting to know if there was anyone else back there somewhere...

I'm the only one I know of....

But with how my family acts I wouldn't be surprised if a few more appeared out of my cousins... if they can escape the iron claws of there parents and grandparents....

I'm the only one in my family like this...

None of the others even show signs. I'm special. 

[Moira Midnigh]

I have not noticed any signs of L, G, B or T in my family.

Or in my old school. Or my street. Or...my old friends.

I met my first gay person when I was 17.

Shooo....

I have one biological cousin who I think is probably lesbian. And one cousin who's out gay, but he's adopted. That about does it for my boring, utterly conventional family. I'm totally the black sheep.

My daughter tried to come out as lesbian when she was a teenager, and then revised that to bisexual, but in fact it was nothing more than a halfhearted attempt at shocking her parents which totally failed, so she quickly gave it up. Then when I came out as lesbian (i.e. my female gender identity), she had a problem with it. Kids!

My mom was transsexual. My stepmom is a lesbian. I'm trans and pansexual. I've got a gay cousin on my bio-mom's side. My brother used to be bisexual, but I think he "grew out of it" or something equally silly. It kind of shocks me that I have so few LGBT family members. I'm so flamboyant and OUT about being "gay in every way" (though I'm still closet-trans) that it seems like everyone's the same way sometimes. I wish I knew more LGBT people. =/

To listen to my biological family, I am the only one ever and a real disgrace and "against god" in their eyes. Of course, the against god part is just another in a long line of things that has been true for a long time. Wicca is definitely "against god" for them as was a "liberal education" that should have been completed in a "good Church of Christ" school where "you wouldn't have been seduced by all those ideas!"

I do know that a great-great-great grandmother was a prostitute in the West Virginia coalfields (mother's mother's side of the family, our progenitrix in that regard.)

And that my paternal quadruple great grandfather on my father's side was the owner of a large plantation in southern middle Tn and owned about 200 slaves prior to 1865, oops 1863, they were "occupied" so the Emancipation Proclamation ended all that!

But, my "immorality" seems to have placed all that way to the background!!! >

That's a weird one. I know a lot of other people with gay uncles and such. But I don't know of anyone in my family who is any sort of LGBTQQI.

[hizmom]

my much beloved older brother
micheal was gay (1954-1989)

he had revealed to me that
our mother had confided in him
what he described as "bisexual"
tendencies, which she rejected
about herself and told him this
in an attempt to redirect him

my youngest child is FTM trans....

i am beginning to believe
that human sexuality is fluid....

[Ciarquin]

My mother is androgyne, or perhaps genderless. Other than that I don't think there's anyone else who is LGBTQQIA in some way. Not to my knowledge, at least.
